Place Comment: Old Andado

New caretakers in place for June, July and possibly August 2022. Everything is working, including showers etc. Good well water and facilities for a Donation/Fee.

Not sure when you were there, but just before the new caretakers arrived, some scum bags broke into the honesty box for donations and stole about $4000

This type of action is so un Australian and makes my blood boil

Scumbags is too kind a word :-(
I wonder if the new caretakers will reinstate the scones, jam and cream treat that was a wonderful surprise to our group a few years back?

What Wildmax said. I hope karma comes to bite them on the you-know-where.

I was there a few years ago, travelling solo on a relaxed itinerary. Caretakers made a special small batch for me the next day, real bush hospitality.

Taking cash is one thing, but stealing Molly’s personal items is beyond description…..

When we were speaking with the caretakers two weeks ago, someone had also taken Molly’s kitchen coffee, tea, sugar etc old tins and replaced them with glass jars.

And we wonder why special places like this get locked up permanently from the actions of a few low life criminals.

I recall a caretaker being beaten up back in april 2017. An older gent, we went through a week earlier, then heard about it on the grapevine.
